Canada Day at Safeco Field 2007

Posted by DeAnna

Here is another layout I did quite a while ago that I haven’t shared yet.  I based this layout on a sketch from Becky Higgins again.  This one is a bit of a hybrid layout since I created my own Safeco Field brush in Photoshop to use in the photo, and I did quite a bit of editing of the photo as well.  I didn’t like how much a hat worn just slightly behind Rob distracted from Rob and Kyle, so I used my magnetic wand tool to select Rob and Kyle, then I inverted the selection and used a lot of gaussian blur with a bit of feathering so it would have a soft edge to the blur rather than a straight hard edge.  I think it looks much better, although I would not normally use so much blur ;D  I used my Quickutz Squeeze tool and the maple leaf die to cut out different colors of leaves and then I chalked the highlights to give them dimension.  Here it is:

  1. Francine Said,

    I love your layout DeAnna. I like how you added green in as well, when most Canada Day layouts are just red and white. The photo turned out very well too – you’re giving me ideas for how to save some of mine. I’ll have to try that technique.

  2. DeAnna Said,

    Thanks ;D I have used that technique on several of my photos, including on Kyle’s second birthday layout which I just completed today! I’ll be posting it next week. The hat had sequins all over it and it totally distracted me, I had to do something and I think it works quite well…
